From abermouse 13 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups fresh bread crumbs (about 8 oz. of day-old bread, blended or food-processed until only crumbs remain) shopping list
- 1/4 cup finely minced celery shopping list
- 2 tbsp. finely minced onion shopping list
- 2 cloves minced garlic shopping list
- 1 tbsp. minced fresh parsley plus 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, divided shopping list
- 1 tsp. dried savoury shopping list
- 1 tsp. dried sage shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. salt shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
- 1/2 cup melted butter (muah ha ha!) shopping list
- 8 to 10 cups chicken stock (good quality is important – best results obtained if you make your own) shopping list
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice shopping list
How to make it
- In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, celery, onion, garlic, one tablespoon of parsley, savoury, sage, thyme, pepper, and salt. Do not use dry bread crumbs; they are a different animal. Use fresh, if you have to leave a few thick slices of bread out overnight to get stale.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs extremely thoroughly. Whisk in melted butter, then pour over crumb mixture. Mix thoroughly, then cover with plastic and place in the fridge for about 45 minutes.
- Roll mixture into balls about an inch in diameter. Keep in mind that the bigger you roll them, the more enormous they will get once cooked – they triple in size as they cook. The recipe makes about 20 balls. At this point, if you are going to use less stock and make less soup, you can freeze rolled stuffing balls. If you’re going to do that, stick them on a baking sheet lined with parchment and freeze until solid, then drop into a plastic bag for later use.
- If you’re making the full batch, use lots of stock, to which you will add the lemon juice. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, then drop in veggies, if using. Turn heat to medium, then drop stuffing balls into the pot. Cover with a lid, and let cook for 15 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with remaining parsley. And if you’re sort of sickish, eat two or three big bowls of the stuff, curled up on the couch, perhaps with your version of Nick, who has perhaps been secretly excited about the finale of America’s Got Talent, even though he won’t say it out loud.
